College Football Pick: Texas-San Antonio -9 over Tulane

The Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners have been getting better every week in their second season in the FBS and now look for a big home win over Tulane Saturday.

It could be a simple case of an undervalued home team hosting an overvalued road team on Saturday when the Tulane Green Wave (6-3, 2-2 away) pay a visit to the Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners (4-5, 1-3 home) at the Alamodome in San Antonio, TX at 2:00 ET.

Tulane meanwhile is probably not as good as its 6-3 record as it has taken advantage of an easy schedule that ranks 109th in SOS and yet still continues to struggle offensively, averaging less than 300 total yards per game.

That leaves UTSA just one game behind three 4-1 teams in the West Division including this Tulane team, so that could to this point make this the biggest game in the brief FBS history of the Roadrunners, who since starting 2-5 have beaten UAB 52-31 at home and Tulsa 34-15 on the road as mentioned last week while racking up a total of 923 yards of offense in the two wins. UTSA is now averaging 418.4 yards per game for the entire season.

If the Roadrunners continue their upswing or even if they just maintain their season average of 27.3 points, Tulane should have a tough time keeping pace. The 6-3 record by the Green Wave looks like more of a farce when you consider that they have been outgained in seven of their nine games this season, and in the two games where they did manage to outgain their opponents, it was by just 25 and 75 yards respectively.
